The drills are reportedly taking place in Pripyat, according to the Kyiv Independent. Pripyat used to be a thriving city of 50,000 residents before the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster forced an evacuation and sealed-off a section of the country for centuries because of the nuclear fallout. The lost city is now a training ground for Ukrainians hoping to protect their future. Pripyat is often called a “ghost city” by the Ukrainian government, which now uses the former city’s urban landscape as a makeshift urban setting for its troops to fight foes from the east, west, south, or even an ally from the Soviet era....

Ukraine suffered a late blow ahead of their crucial Euro 2012 Group D clash with England here Tuesday after Andrei Shevchenko was ruled out through injury. Shevchenko’s absence was one of four changes made by Ukraine coach Oleg Blokhin as his side prepared for a must-win game against England, who only need a draw to reach the last eight.

The video was posted to Twitter on Saturday, using CGI to depict the French capital city being attacked from the air with explosions near the Eiffel Tower. Ukrainian President Voldoymyr Zelensky has repeatedly asked allies to impose the no-fly zone to prevent Russian attacks from the air. But NATO member countries have so far ruled out the possibility, fearing an escalation of the war. The 45-second video begins with a woman posing in front of the Eiffel Tower and quickly moves on to depicting an attack on the capital, highlighting other landmarks including the Sacré-Coeur basilica....

Zenger News obtained the video from the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces (DShV), one of the five branches of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and considered the elite of Ukraine’s armed forces, on Monday.

In an interview on MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Thursday, James Stavridis said that Putin can ramp up nuclear threats since he can use the referendums as a base to claim that those occupied areas are no longer Ukraine. “Putin will then really rattle that nuclear sabre and say, ‘If you attack Donetsk or Luhansk or Kherson, that’s part of Russia,’” Stavridis said. Putin gave an address last week that not only announced a partial mobilization in Russia expected to call up to 300,000 soldiers to fight in Ukraine, but also backed plans to hold referendums in four occupied parts of Ukrainian territory: Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk and Luhansk....

The meeting revealed a serious supply issue stemming in part from U.S. support of Ukraine in its war with Russia. “The United States military has probably sent about one-third of its Javelin anti-tank missiles to Ukraine — one-third of our supply given to them,” Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut said during the hearing, which Newsweek attended. “Replenishing U.S. stocks or those weapons would require 32 months.” He raised concerns that if the nation continues to provide Ukraine with Javelin missiles under the current rate of domestic production, the U....

Las freidoras de aire son la nueva moda, como en su momento lo han sido los altavoces inteligentes, los patinetes eléctricos o el robot aspirador.
